Biography

The research in my laboratory is focused on understanding signaling networks within cells and how these signaling events modulate gene expression and proliferation. Extracellular signals are routed through signaling networks where they can activate multiple pathways, integrate at different levels, and form positive and negative feedback loops. The laboratory uses a combination of computational modeling and experimental biology to gain a systems understanding of the network and how it regulates gene expression and proliferation.

Yvone Paterson is Professor of Microbiology in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. As a Professor of Microbiology, Paterson is an active educator and trainer and is the PI of several training grants and programs. Her research is in the field of cancer vaccines where she was the first investigator to use Listeria monocytogenes, as a vector to target tumor-associated antigens to the immune system. She has pioneered the application of this organism in vaccine development for over 20 years. Her laboratory was the first to show that this bacterium could be genetically engineered to target antigens to the MHC class I pathway for antigen processing with the induction of cytotoxic T cells, the first to show that it could provide protective immunity against viral challenge and the first to apply the technology for the immunotherapy of cancer. In partnership with Advaxis Inc., a company she founded in 2002, the Listeria based technology is now in a number of clinical trials. Overall, these trials have shown that Listeria based immunotherapeutics are safe to use in humans and result in significantly prolonged survival and, in some cases, complete and partial remissions.

Biography

Dr. Henry Lynch established Creighton's Hereditary Cancer Prevention Clinic in 1984, an
interdisciplinary clinic where families can find information and services related to all hereditary
cancers. Dr. Lynch had the idea to look at cancer from a genetics perspective (he postulated
that cancer could be hereditary) rather than focusing exclusively from an environmental point
of view (which at the time was the only acceptable cause for cancer in the medical circles). This
idea became the main focus of his research for years to come.
Dr. Lynch developed what are today regarded as the cardinal principles of cancer genetics: early
age of onset of the disease, specific pattern of multiple primary cancers, and Mendelian
patterns of inheritance in hundreds of extended families worldwide.
